Gov. Ron DeSantis Booed At Prayer Vigil For Victims Of Jacksonville Shooting
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was booed at Sunday at a prayer vigil for the victims of the Jacksonville Dollar General mass shooting when he stood up to speak.
However, Jacksonville City Councilwoman Ju’Coby Pittman, who delivered remarks before DeSantis took the stage, stepped to ask the crowd to quiet down and listen.
“It ain’t about parties today,” she told the audience. “A bullet don’t know a party.”
The bullet may not know a party, but the gun and shooter absolutely did, and it's 10000% obvious where the party affiliation lies. Anybody who pretends otherwise should be ignored and mercilessly kicked for their ignorance and/or lies.
Yeah. One party is guilty of stochastic terrorism. They've been emboldening Nazi racist fuckwits for years now. The fuck did they expect was going to happen? Of course they don't care they just want power, regardless of whatever it costs the rest of us.
They don't care if the entire country burns down to the ground, as long as they get to rule over the pile of ashes.
Glad I saw this because that's exactly what I was thinking. Gun advocates love to call for the shooter, not the weapon so in this case, the shooter is absolutely affiliated and the current republican party enables and encourages this behavior. Apparently it's appropriate to pray at the vigil YOU enabled. Disgusting.

Are they really dogwhistles when it's so obvious? Pretty much air raid sirens at this point.
He almost certainly expected this and it's almost certainly a part of a play. It's really obvious to anyone that this would happen. I'd bet he now goes around and talks about how uncivilized and hostile the people were and how he's the victim of the woke mob, or whatever. I don't think he's stupid, and that's the most dangerous part.
I'm partially impressed Desantis 1. had the gall to show up. 2. was likely expecting not to get booed. Plz someone get this clown out of my state and exile him to one of those plastic islands out in the center of most Seas
Now that he is slowly giving up on the presidency. He is starting to realize the state, he abandoned/ignored for his entire "Presidential world tour and crusade on Wokeness", is in trouble.
Needless to say, Florida people aren't happy about that. Even the quiet ones.

Unfortunately, many of them are slow learners. They re-elected him after he suspended a state attorney for no good reason and sent migrants up to Martha's Vineyard.
When Ron's people don't have complete control of an event like this vigil, this is what you get. Wait until they have no choice over who can ask him questions. Don't be deceived by the show.
What did he expect would happen? How delusional is this guy. His audience is KKK rallies and Cuban conservatives. Let him stick to that.
He was probably hoping to be booed so he can something something woke people something something.
What did he expect would happen?
Although I fully support the booing, you have to figure the idea was that the backlash of "Governor Didn't Care Enough to Show Up" would have been greater than the backlash of "Well duh, of course he got booed."
I don't know whether that's true, but I feel pretty sure that's the calculus that drove the decision to go.
Good, well deserved
They should have thrown meatballs while booing.
No silly, then they'd get charged with terrorism while Ron DeSatan gets to freely commit human trafficking offenses. 😄
To say he can't read the room would be an understatement.
i just hope any residual damage is short lived, Reaganomics was a real shitty thing to be born into,
